Cinthie’s You Know How EP marks a triumphant return to her 803 Crystal Grooves label after a 2.5-year hiatus, due in part to pandemic-related delays.
A true legend in the world of underground house music, Cinthie has been a prominent figure in the scene for over a decade. Known for her impeccable groove-driven approach, her productions seamlessly blend classic house elements with a contemporary edge. Throughout her career, Cinthie has established herself as a producer, DJ, and live artist, respected for her deep understanding of the genre and her ability to bring fresh, dynamic energy to every set.
As the founder of Berlin’s Elevate record store and a staple in the local DJ scene, Cinthie has always been at the forefront of pushing underground music forward. She’s released on some of the most respected labels in the industry, including Aus Music, Heist, and, of course, her own 803 Crystal Grooves. Her expertise extends beyond the studio as a live artist, where she performs impromptu hardware jams that showcase her deep connection to the music and her innovative approach to performance.
The You Know How EP is a testament to Cinthie’s enduring relevance and ability to evolve. The title track, You Know How, is a feel-good piano house anthem that will undoubtedly ignite dance floors. Classic vocal samples are expertly deployed, adding an old-school touch while the textured bass anchors the track with serious low-end weight. It’s a timeless piece that shows why Cinthie’s music continues to resonate so strongly with listeners.
Next is Mellifluous, which embodies Cinthie’s knack for creating mood-driven, deep grooves. With smooth drum bumps and synths that wash over the dance floor in waves, the track delivers a blissful, warm energy that locks dancers into its dynamic, feel-good rhythm.
Can You closes the EP with a punchy, physical house sound that will keep the crowd moving. The track’s raw, stripped-back energy is carried by punchy kicks, dry claps, and chopped-up vocal fragments, making for a track that’s as irresistible as it is impactful.
Cinthie’s You Know How EP reaffirms her place as a key figure in the house music landscape. By blending timeless influences with a forward-thinking approach, she continues to shape the sound of underground dance music. It’s a release that marks a welcome return for an artist who remains as influential as ever in pushing the boundaries of the genre.
